CD Production Companies in the UK

[dougfatheruk]

Hi all,

I need to source an all round decent CD replication company here in the UK, typically for batches of 500-1000. Plenty of people do it but the samples i've seen vary from bad to not as bad.

My experiences vary but i need a company with attention to detail on the artwork, decent printing on both the inlay and the CD and good packaging. I'm receiving way too many damaged cases, I know the petal type clasps on the inside are prone to damage but the last run i had, the majority were damaged which is a real let down for the customer.

Thanks in advance

I'd recommend Alpha Duplication in High Wycombe any day.
I guess they specialise in duplication (which is all I've had done), but they do replication as well. Their artworkers were very helpful & quality conscious on my little run of 100, so I'm sure they'll look after bigger stuff just as well. I couldn't fault the CDs & packs when I got them.

One of the cheapest in europe is Copydisc in Germany. Not sure if they deliver in the UK but in my experience the service and prices are top. mail is info@copydisc.de
